Wimbledon Heat Wave Turns Into Torrential Summer Storms

Just currently we’re suffering dreadful weather – the middle of the school summer holidays, and after a blisteringly hot June and July, we have the wettest and windiest August on record.  Yet a few short weeks ago we saw tennis players suffering terribly from heat exposure and having to be given extra cloakroom time.  The tv coverage helpfully showed notices put up for all the crowds to drink plenty of water/fluid, to slap on high factor sun protection, to cover up skin, and to wear hats at all times.  It seems inconceivable now that this was happening only 2 months ago.  In South West London!

Global warming is most certainly a reality and we have to get into the swing of accepting it and doing our bit to help control our little bit.  Thankfully there are agencies about who we can engage to help with our solar and wind energy needs in advance of the others!
